Oil dilution is common in diesels and doesn't seem to be a problem for the lubrication properties of the oil, provided you stay well within the service schedule (I would personally opt for shorter, fixed interval servicing given my driving profile and having read this paper http://www.nrel.gov/vehiclesandfuels/npbf/pdfs/44833.pdf). Take a look and it will explain that the addition of biofuel to mineral diesel oil has resulted in a larger proportion of fuel oil infiltrating the engine oil, thus diluting more. The most important thing in my mind is to make sure: The dealer fills oil level somewhere between minimum to medium level on the dipstick (never to max) to allow room for oil dilution Check oil levels on a regular basis and ensure that you do not run the engine if the oil level exceeds max (there have been cases where engines self-fuel themselves with very high fuel levels and rev uncontrollably/cannot be stopped. Don't worry about oil not doing its job, this paper indicates that diluted oil performs sufficiently well as a lubricant.

The aromatic parts of diesel are volatile (hence you can smell them) and they evaporate off at engine temperatures. So, I'd say a 'sniff test' is not a reliable indicator whether diesel has infiltrated the sump oil. A better check would be a viscosity check.

Oops, I missed your earlier point regarding your preference towards petrol.

2wd Mazda CX-5 diesel gets good reviews in manual or automatic. Worth trying both small and large wheel variants to find which suits best.

VCDS sold to phsroberts pending payment.

I still have one brand new, unused, unregistered genuine Ross-Tech VAGCOM for sale if any parents of Yeti's are interested.

Provisionally sold to JCP, subject to payment.

'Fraid so brijo. My back has been getting worse of late which makes getting in/out of the car more painful. Need to stick with a taller seat height. Shame because I really liked the Yeti and was so looking forward to the Velux.

Apologies if this is not the correct place to make this post. A change in circumstances mean I will not need this item. It is a BRAND NEW, never used, never registered VCDS which was purchased through this site on a recent group buy. This item is brand new and in it's original packaging with unused serial number for registering at Ross-Tech for lifetime technical support. I will also include the original receipt from the original authorised seller. I am selling for the same group buy price I paid: £230 including mainland UK delivery by Royal Mail special delivery. Please PM me if interested.

Apologies if this is not the correct place to post. I have a full set of Genuine Skoda Yeti carpet mats in black that are still in their protective wrapper. A change in circumstances mean I'm not going to be needing them. £40 incl. mainland delivery. Please PM if interested.

II meant to say another, not smooth!

You could always take a 'test drive' in soothe 1.2 dsg which will clear up whether it is your driving style or your car.
